Computer Applications for Business includes two hourly exams, an in-class spreadsheet exam, and a final exam. Room assignments for exams are announced in lecture and recitation and posted to the CS170 website. Make note of the room where your exam is scheduled when it is announced in lecture.
- You may not take exams at a location other than the one assigned without your instructor's permission.
- You may not take a makeup exam without your instructor's permission.
- It is your responsibility to be in the correct room at the correct time on the correct day. If you take an exam in the wrong location, your final course grade will be lowered by one letter grade.
- Students arriving late to the exam will be admitted only at the discretion of the instructor, and will not be admitted if other students have already left the room.
- Arriving late to the exam does not mean you receive extra time to finish the exam.
- Exams may include material from lecture, recitation, assignments, assigned readings, or recommended readings. Information on exam topics and content is announced in lecture and recitation and posted to the CS170 website.
- Do not bring calculators or cellular devices to the exam!
- Calculators cannot be used during exams. Using a calculator during an exam will result in a zero for the examination.
- Cellular products are not permitted in the room during exams. If you bring cellular devices to the exam, you risk getting a zero grade.
- Discrepancies regarding exam grades must be clarified within two weeks after exams are returned; no consideration will be given after the two-week time limit.
- Final exams are not returned. Contact your instructor to review your final exam.
Common Hour Exams: It is University policy that a makeup exam for common hour exams is given only to students who have another common hour exam or a regularly scheduled class at the same time as the CS170 hourly exam or a documented explanation acceptable to the instructor and presented within a reasonable time before the exam. If you believe you have a conflict with a CS170 hourly exam, you must discuss this with your instructor and provide appropriate documentation at least two weeks before the scheduled exam in order to take the makeup exam. To avoid problems, check your class schedule now and speak with your instructor if there is a class conflict.
Final Exam: Students with three or more scheduled exams on one calendar day or three or more scheduled exams in consecutive time periods, including the CS170 final exam, should speak with their instructor and provide appropriate documentation before the last lecture of the semester. If you have not met with your instructor and provided documentation of a conflict before the last lecture, you will not be eligible for the makeup exam.
Note:
- Not knowing where your exam is being given, having the incorrect date or time noted for the exam, not feeling prepared for the exam, broken alarm clock, work-related travel, family social events are not legitimate reasons for requesting a makeup exam.
- Work is not an excuse for a makeup exam. Advise your employer of your exam schedule now and make arrangements to be excused from work in sufficient time to arrive for the exam.
- If an emergency occurs which prevents you from being at a scheduled exam, contact your Dean's office immediately. The Dean's office will notify all of your instructors you are unable to attend classes and advise you what documentation to bring to verify the emergency. It is the instructor's decision whether to provide any consideration for a missed exam.
- Students who require alternate testing considerations must present appropriate documentation to their instructor at the beginning of the semester.
- Student athletes must present official practice and competitive schedules to their instructor at the beginning of the semester.
